Message-ID: <20141201073826.EB666C3E0@s8.hostlocal.com> Perl Weekly http://perlweekly.com/ You can read the newsletter on the web, if you prefer. http://perlweekly.com/archive/175.html Hi, First of all, let me apologize to those who are reading the text version of the newsletter. Due to a bug and my impatience, last the newsletter was missing the text version. Sorry for that. Advent is here! While you might not celebrate the Christian Advent, it became a tradition in the Perl community to create Advent calendars. This means 24 articles in 24 days. We won't be able to cover all the articles published in the Advent calendars, but you can see a list of them in the Advent section. You can also follow the one maintained by Len Jaffe who has been collecting the various Advent calendars for years. Which brings me to another point. All of these calendars are written by volunteer contributors. Not necessarily core developers. You could also contribute an article! Enjoy! Sponsors Perl Recruitment by a CPAN contributor http://bit.ly/1uwKNXC I'm a Perl programmer and open-source developer who also specialises in Perl recruitment in Europe.
